    Ooh they are naughty then! :rotfl:

    The bank cancelled on us last night and rang back this morning. They went through every single financial detail, every payment we make and even asked us how much we spend on shopping. It's so humiliating. I guess that they have to do it though. I hope it'll be okay. We're just waiting to hear from them.

    I feel sick. _pale_

    Right, they came back to us and on paper it's looking good. :T We need to have a surveyor come out to check the house value but with a little luck (and we could really do with some right now) we'll have a better mortgage deal. If we can get this it'll really ease the pain. I just hope that it'll all come together. It's taken hours just to get this far.

    On a plus point I managed to get much needed running gear 70% off in the sale. So I finally have new running leggings and a top. I've been soldiering on with holey ones for too long.

    As this month is my first month in 5 years without a student loan payment I have allowed myself this one treat and the rest has gone to my existing debt. :) So here's to a great Saturday night. :beer:

    It's so nice to get a bargain and know I've not guiltily stashed it onto a credit card :)
